Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The Cowshed is located in a peaceful location on the outskirts of skirts of Llangollen. Everything is tastefully furnished. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the blackout blinds. The continental breakfast was delicious. We highly recommend The Cowshed.

Just stunning! Lovely room and superb bathroom. Beautifully presented. The outside table and chairs with a fabulous view were a bonus. Parking was easy, with an allocated space. We did not order breakfast but took cheeses and stuff ourselves. Great to have the use of a proper sized fridge and freezer in the nearby outhouse. Check in was easy and flexible to suit our travel plans. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay near Llangollen. Thank you. We will return!

The location was great. It was very peaceful and had an amazing view . It was my birthday and we enjoyed walking along the canal to the Sun Trevor pub and had an excellent meal. The cowshed was lovely inside and had everything you needed. The bathroom was beautiful and the bath was my favourite feature. Breakfast was delicious. I would return here again for a relaxing break

United StatesWe loved everything.
The Cowshed was exceptional! The conversion from cowshed to abode is so well done. The furnishings are very comfortable, and the soaking tub and shower in the huge bathroom (with radiant heat) are over the top incredible. The location is great......with the tow path along the canal located across the street from the driveway. Walking into town or to the aqueduct is so easy

The cowshed is in a stunning location up on the hill just outside of Llangollen. The road up the street is a little rocky so if like us you had a hire car you may want to go very slow. The room itself surpassed expectations it was beautiful! The bed was comfy, there were lovely chairs to lounge in and read and the terrace had a little table and chairs if you wanted to sit outside or have breakfast out there. The owner, was so friendly offering recommendations for food and they brought breakfast (croissants, toast, fruit, yoghurt and orange juice) which was an unexpected bonus. For me the highlight was the bath, it is a delight and a nice way to relax at the end of the day. If I were back in the area I would stay here again without hesitation.

United KingdomThere was nothing not to love about The Cowshed.
The location was perfect. It was so central to everything. Whether you wanted a walk along the canal or a day out in Llangollen. The bath was also so relaxing after an active day and the room was beautiful. We didn't want to leave. Definitely will rebook.

United KingdomThere is nothing not to like about this place, all i would say is bring thick socks or slippers as the carpet is quite an unusual sensation on the feet! Maybe we are too sensitive 😂
Absolutely beautiful accommodation with a wonderful scenic view. The room was beautifully presented, clean and looked after. Lots of extra little details made The Cowshed a great place to relax for our weekend break! Thank you for an awesome stay!

United KingdomThe drive up to the accommodation is not suitable for smaller or 'city cars', or any with a low undercarriage or wide berth. Had a really difficult time getting up and down it without completely damaging my undercarriage especially as the 'road' is very uneven. As it is have scratched one side of the car badly in the attempt. Also it was pitch black at night and not something I wanted to try in the dark which meant walking in the dark down an unfamiliar canal to get to the closest eating place (Bring a torch). Wear reflective clothing as you have to cross a fast road 4 times and I felt very unsafe and invisible trying to do this.
Room was amazing. Bathroom and tub, which ngl was one of the main reasons I booked it, were 5 star. Plenty of choice for hot drinks and the breakfast was tasty. Really nice family who owned the place too.
